It has been a long time since I posted anything, but not since I slept in my hammock. This was my first time up here. The hike is 3 miles and 2,000' in elevation gain. I stayed at the lower lake for a solo overnighter. The weather was perfect. I'm still rocking out the WBBB copy I made 5 or 6 years ago. As I was taking pictures, a hiker asked where the camping spots were to which I said right here and noted that I was on the other side of the lake in the hammock. He asked if I was in the WBBB near the entrance and said he bought one and had already been out 5 times in it.
I got to the lake around 6pm and people were still showing up at 10pm. I left around 8am the next morning.
It was a moonless night, so I was able to see the Milky Way in spite of the noise pollution, and was still seeing remnants from the meteor shower from the night before. I got some good shots. My Milky Way shots, not so much.
It was great to get out and a good place to be.
